The Challenge

Lycom (formerly Upspell), a rapidly growing creative agency, faced a disconnect between their high-quality output and their online presence. Their previous website was static, slow, and failed to communicate their vibrant company culture or the depth of their expertise. This resulted in low engagement from potential clients and difficulty in attracting top-tier creative talent in a competitive market.

The Solution

We executed a complete digital transformation for Lycom, building a bespoke agency platform that merges aesthetic excellence with conversion-driven functionality. The new site features a headless architecture for blazing-fast performance, immersive case study layouts to let the work speak for itself, and a dynamic 'Life at Lycom' section to showcase their team culture. We prioritized storytelling, using subtle animations and micro-interactions to guide users through the agency's narrative.

Key Features

  • Headless CMS integration for effortless content management.
  • Immersive, interactive case study showcases.
  • Dynamic career portal with culture-focused storytelling.
  • Dark/Light mode toggle with persistent user preference.
  • Advanced SEO architecture for improved organic visibility.
